As an analyst from my country proposes, depending on how the situation is dealt with, the next step would be a “stag-inflation”, when inflation freezes for a while. Then, if the issue is left to grow, there are cases of deflation, but because people are in full contingency. And as manufactures lose notion of cost and demand, they stop producing as much, shrinking the already shrinking stocks, and making people go on a rush to stock up, resulting in hyper-inflation.

But I suspect this issue is just a cover up for the world’s general impoverishment/inflation from the past few decades, AIs being an useful scapegoat.

Going by the headline alone, fearmongering at best.

If people don’t trust it either, there’s also an alternative, reading the package for the expected spoiling date.

Going by your explanation, sounds more like different design choices mixed with different interpretations from users, not necessarily abuse.

Seen someone else comment it…

What if AI is being used as either a scapegoat or the excuse for the “you will nothing and ne happy” thing?

You probably can’t trust anything if it’s compromised
